20. Binding Arbitration

IF YOU ARE A UNITED STATES CITIZEN, YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH UNIBLUE AS FOLLOWS:

A. Purpose. If You have a Dispute (as defined below) with Uniblue that cannot be resolved through an informal dispute resolution with Uniblue, You or Uniblue may elect to arbitrate that Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Provision rather than litigate the Dispute in court. Arbitration means You will have a fair hearing before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury.

B. Definitions. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between You and Uniblue regarding any aspect of Your relationship with Uniblue, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional or non-intentional tort), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision. “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Uniblue” means Uniblue and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents.

C. Right to Opt Out. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY UNIBLUE IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF YOUR PRODUCT ORDER BY VISITING http://www.uniblue.com/support/ticket, OR BY MAIL TO UNIBLUE AT UNIBLUE, DUN KARM STREET, B'KARA BY-PASS, BIRKIRKARA BKR9037, MALTA (EUROPE), ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO UNIBLUE MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND UNIBLUE ORDER NUMBER AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH UNIBLUE THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH UNIBLUE OR THE DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO YOU BY UNIBLUE.

D. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator. If You or Uniblue elect to resolve Your Dispute through arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision, the party initiating the arbitration proceeding may open a case with the American Arbitration Association - Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043, 877-495-4185, www.adr.org under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.

E. Arbitration Procedures:1. Because the License(s), product(s) and/or service(s) provided to You by Uniblue concern interstate and/or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state arbitration law, shall govern the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, applicable federal law or the law of the state where You receive the product or service from Uniblue may apply to and govern the substance of any Disputes if for any reason the Choice of Law Provision of this Agreement does not apply. No state statute pertaining to arbitration shall be applicable under this Arbitration Provision. If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the rules of the arbitration organization chosen, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If AAA will not enforce this Arbitration Provision as written, it cannot serve as the arbitration organization to resolve Your dispute with Uniblue. If this situation arises, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization. If the parties are unable to agree, the parties shall mutually petition a court of appropriate jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration organization that will enforce this Arbitration Provision as written. If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the rest of the Agreement with Uniblue, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.
2. A single arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. The Arbitrator shall also have the sole authority to determine whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Provision. You should know that participating in arbitration may result in limited discovery depending on the rules of the arbitration organization that is chosen to resolve the Dispute. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information.
3. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. An award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
4. If an award granted by the arbitrator exceeds $25,000, either party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization by a written notice of appeal filed within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to the rules of the arbitration organization. The arbitration organization will then notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, except for any appellate right which exists under the FAA.

F. Restrictions:1. YOU MUST CONTACT US WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A DISPUTE, OR YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIM BASED UPON SUCH EVENT, FACTS, OR DISPUTE.
2. ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY NAMED. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER UNIBLUE CUSTOMERS, OR OTHER PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED.

G. Location of Arbitration. The arbitration will take place at a location convenient to You in the area where You purchased the product or service from us.

H. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. UNIBLUE WILL ADVANCE ALL ARBITRATION FILING FEES AND ARBITRATOR’S COSTS AND EXPENSES UPON YOUR WRITTEN REQUEST GIVEN PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE ARBITRATION. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT YOU INCUR IN THE ARBITRATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FEES FOR ATTORNEYS OR EXPERT WITNESSES. IF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS DECIDED IN UNIBLUE’S FAVOR, YOU SHALL REIMBURSE UNIBLUE FOR THE FEES AND COSTS ADVANCED TO YOU ONLY UP TO THE EXTENT AWARDABLE IN A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING. IF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS DETERMINED IN YOUR FAVOR, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE UNIBLUE FOR ANY OF THE FEES AND COSTS ADVANCED BY UNIBLUE. IF A PARTY ELECTS TO APPEAL AN AWARD TO A THREE-ARBITRATOR PANEL, THE PREVAILING PARTY IN THE APPEAL SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS INCURRED IN THAT APPEAL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, UNIBLUE WILL PAY ALL FEES AND COSTS THAT IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO PAY.

I. Severability. If any clause within this Arbitration Provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Provision, and the remainder of this Arbitration Provision will be given full force and effect. If the class action waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the entire Arbitration Provision will be unenforceable, and the dispute will be decided by a court. In the event this entire Arbitration Provision is determined to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim is brought in a Dispute that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of this Arbitration Provision, You and Uniblue have each agreed to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.

J. Exclusions from Arbitration. YOU AND UNIBLUE AGREE THAT THE FOLLOWING WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION: (1) ANY CLAIM FILED BY YOU OR BY UNIBLUE THAT IS NOT AGGREGATED WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER AND WHOSE AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY IS PROPERLY WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A COURT THAT IS LIMITED TO ADJUDICATING SMALL CLAIMS; (2) ANY DISPUTE OVER THE VALIDITY OF ANY PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; AND (3) ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM ALLEGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UNAUTHORIZED USE OR RECEIPT OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICE.

21. Venue For All Other Litigation

All disputes arising out of or in relation to this Agreement that (a) do not include a United States citizen as party or (b) involve any claim that is not subject to the arbitration provisions of Section 20 for any reason, including, but not limited to, Your timely notice opting out of Arbitration in accordance with Section 20(C) above, shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Malta, provided however, that Uniblue retains the right, at its option, to pursue any litigation arising from Your use of the Uniblue Software in Your national Courts if You are not a citizen of Malta.
